Dr. Candida Fielding is a native of Augusta, Ga. She is a proud alumni
of Fort Valley State University where she received a Bachelor's of
Science in Biology and became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc. She received her Masters of Education in Secondary Education from
Grand Canyon University and her Doctorate of Education in Instructional
Leadership with a minor in Curriculum and Instruction from Nova
Southeastern University.
Dr. Fielding has been an educator for
twelve years; six years as a Biology teacher at Twiggs County High
School and the last six years here at Northside High School. Over her
tenure she has been a member, chair, sponsor, and director of many
programs and committees. As a teacher she believed in giving students
opportunities to laugh and learn at the same time. "School should be a
place where students are actively learning and laughing. We all learn
best when we enjoy the learning process." It was not uncommon to see Dr.
Fielding standing on a lab bench pretending to be a tree to teach an
introduction to natural selection. Technology, fun, and engagement are
vital to the learning process.
Dr. Fielding has a host of
God-children, nieces, and nephews. Yet, every student at Northside is
treated as if they are her own. She is an educator who gives love and
respect to all of students and supports them fully as they strive for
success and excellence. Her passion as an administrator is rooted in the
need for students to be prepared for the world on every level and
respecting others and themselves in the process.
